Trinity news

After a seven-game unbeaten run, which has also seen the side pick up 10 points from a possible 12, the Trinity boss says his squad have all shown the character and desire needed to progress in the competition.

But not all of his players can be selected for this weekend's fixture as the Blues chase a place in the second round for the first time ever.

“Me and Terry have some very tough decisions to make this week,” said Frecklington.

“I never got to this stage in the FA Cup as a player so I know how important it is to the players to be in the side on such a big stage. This game could create history for the club, if we can win the game.

“Everyone is going to want to play and I am sure training will be quite intense this week. We will have to make sure the training is right in terms of tempo but at the same time reign the players back a little bit. The last think you need before an occasion like this is to go over on an ankle or something.

“It will be really tough to make those decisions. I always try and pull people to one side before naming a team, but it might be a case of having to put my arms around the shoulders of a few for this one. I am not looking forward to that.

“Whatever squad we manage to select for the game, I am sure they will give everything and leave everything out on the football pitch.”

The Blues go into the tie full of confidence. Their 1-0 win against high-flying Curzon Ashton on Saturday, thanks to a second-half penalty from Ashley Worsfold, took the side six points clear of the relegation zone.

“Our changing room is absolutely pouncing from our current form, it has given us massive belief,” said the Blues boss.

“Our team spirit has taken us probably further than we thought it would. If you can win ugly, as we did against Curzon, it can take you a long way.

“We rode our luck, but I think our recent performances have earned that. This time last year we would have lost that game, or even the early part of this season we would have caved in.

“So to take three points and a clean sheet from a top outfit who were sat in the play-offs before the game, I could not be happier.

“The whole club should be looking forward to this because we have put big points on the board in our league campaign so we can focus on the FA Cup.

“I have heard the TV cameras are coming down, Match of the Day cameras will be here and it’s nice going into a big, big game on the back of getting points on the board in the league.”
